Well, why not try this.

To add a special character as a text object.

1. Using the Text tool , click where you want to add the special character.

2. Click Menu> Text Insert symbol character.

3. In the Insert character docker, choose a font from the Font list box.

4. Double-click a character in the list.

The size of the character is determined by the font size of the text.

Hope this helps,
